Those who have not received the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccination

Those who are ill

Measles symptoms are similar to the symptoms of a severe respiratory tract infection. Those with measles may have a profusely runny nose, a severe cough and red eyes, along with a fever. These symptoms precede the onset of a skin rash by several days.

The rash usually occurs on the fourth or fifth day of the illness, and typically begins on the head and neck, then spreads to the rest of the body. The rash may be accompanied by white spots that appear in the mouth or the inner surface of the cheek.
